Wanted: People with brains to fight Ebola in the USA

The US government´s shameful and shambolic performance continues. A second Dallas nurse has Ebola and to make matters even worse she flew with 134 other passengers while running a fever.

(Reuters) - A second Texas nurse who contracted Ebola flew on a commercial flight from Ohio to Texas with a slight temperature the day before she was diagnosed, health officials said on Wednesday, raising new concerns about U.S. efforts to control the disease.

Chances that other passengers on the plane were infected were very low, but the nurse should not have been traveling on the flight, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Thomas Frieden told reporters.

The woman, Amber Vinson, 29, was isolated immediately after reporting a fever on Tuesday, Texas Department of State Health Services officials said. She had treated Liberian patient Thomas Eric Duncan, who died of Ebola on Oct. 8 and was the first patient diagnosed with the virus in the United States.

Vinson, a worker at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, had taken a Frontier Airlines flight from Cleveland, Ohio to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport on Monday, officials said.

In Washington, President Barack Obama said the likelihood of a widespread Ebola outbreak was "very, very low." But he pledged a more aggressive response to U.S. Ebola cases from federal officials and would do everything possible to ensure no more healthcare workers are infected.

Obama met with Cabinet officials to discuss the government's response to the Ebola situation after canceling a planned political trip to New Jersey and Connecticut.

The CDC said earlier that it was asking all of the more than 130 passengers who were also on the Frontier flight to call a CDC hotline.

Government officials said Vinson was being transferred to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, which has successfully treated two people who contracted the disease in West Africa and were flown back to the United States.

Yahoo news has details Reuters doesn´t include: 

""CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden said during a national news conference on Wednesday that Dallas nurse Amber Joy Vinson “was in a group of individuals known to have exposure to Ebola, she should not have traveled on a commercial airline.”

But according to multiple news reports, Vinson phoned the CDC before leaving Ohio to report she had an elevated fever of 99.5 degrees and would be flying back to Dallas. Vinson wasn't “told she couldn't fly,”  an unidentified CDC source told ABC News.

“Somebody dropped the ball,” CBS News quoted one health official as saying."""

So they are going to set up a CDC hotline for the 130 passengers on that flight...That´s it? May Jesus, Mohammed and Moses have mercy on Obama, the stooges who are suposedly in charge of controlling the epidemic, and anybody who can actually get on TV and curse them for their incompetence and does nothing about it. 

Maybe we need to mail them one million  "Twelve Monkeys" DVD´s so they get the idea?
